escli 0.0.1

The complete solution for dart command-line interfaces.

commander.dart

The complete solution for Dart command-line interfaces, inspired by node commander.js which created by tj.

Why

cause I don't like build the cli app with other exist lib.

those api are not graceful enough. so I want build a lib use like commander.js

it make you move cli tool from Nodejs easier.

This lib in developing. I can't make sure it work like expect even I have write many test cases.

Enjoy it!

Requirement

• dart>=1.20.0

Supports

• Windows
• Linux

Example

Option parsing

#!/usr/bin/env dart

import 'package:escli/escli.dart' show Commander;

void main(List<String> arguments){
  Commander program = new Commander();
  
  program
    ..name('test')
    ..version('1.2.0')
    ..description('test desc')
    ..usage('<command> [options]')
    ..option('-p, --peppers', 'Add peppers')
    ..option('-P, --pineapple', 'Add pineapple')
    ..option('-b, --bbq-sauce', 'Add bbq sauce')
    ..option('-c, --cheese [type]', 'Add the specified type of cheese [marble]');
  
  program.parseArgv(arguments);
  
  print('--peppers: ${program.$option["peppers"]}');
  print('--pineapple: ${program.$option["pineapple"]}');
  print('--bbq-sauce: ${program.$option["bbqSauce"]}');
  print('--cheese: ${program.$option["cheese"]}');
  
  print('enjoy it');
}

Coercion

import 'package:escli/escli.dart' show Commander;
void main(List<String> arguments) {
  Commander program = new Commander();

  parseInt(int n){
    print('--interger: $n');
  }
  parseFlow(num n){
    print('--float: $n');
  }
  range(val) {
    print('--float: $val');
  }

  list(val) {
    print('--list: $val');
  }

  collect(val) {
    print('--optional: $val');
  }

  increaseVerbosity(val) {
    print('--verbose: $val');
  }

  program
    ..name('test')
    ..version('1.2.0')
    ..description('test desc')
    ..usage('<command> [options]')
    ..option('-i, --integer <n>', 'An integer argument', parseInt)
    ..option('-f, --float <n>', 'A float argument', parseFlow)
    ..option('-r, --range <a>..<b>', 'A range', range)
    ..option('-l, --list <items>', 'A list', list)
    ..option('-o, --optional [value]', 'An optional value')
    ..option('-c, --collect [value]', 'A repeatable value', collect)
    ..option('-v, --verbose', 'A value that can be increased', increaseVerbosity, 0)
    ..parseArgv(arguments);
}

Specify the argument syntax

import 'package:escli/escli.dart' show Commander;

void main(List<String> arguments){
  Commander program = new Commander();

  program
    ..version('0.0.1')
    ..arguments('<cmd> [env]')
    ..action((Map argv, Map options) {
    print(argv);
    print(options);
  });

  program.parseArgv(arguments);
}

Git-style sub-commands (Recommend)

import 'package:escli/escli.dart' show Commander;

void main(List<String> arguments) {
  Commander program = new Commander();

  program
    ..version('0.0.1');

  program
    .command('install [name]', 'install one or more packages')
    .action((Map argv, Map options) {

    });

  program
    .command('search [query]', 'search with optional query')
    .action((Map argv, Map options) {

    });
  
  program
    .command('list', 'list packages installed')
    .action((Map argv, Map options) {

    });
}
